c
THE MORNING AFTER THE NIGHT BEFORE
VOTE YE8 ON THE THREE MILL
LEVY FOR THE SCHOOLS.
This is not a proposal to increase
the school tux rate. The Board of Education is asking you to grant the
schools a continuation of the same
support that you are now giving them.
The school finance measure to be
voted on at the ovember election demands your careful consideration and
your hearty endorsement. Under the
present achool law, the Board of Education can levy three mills for the operation of the schools. In the Amherst
Union School district that means
about $12,000 a year. The schools can
not be maintained with this amount
of money nor is it the intention of the
State Department of Education that
any community be limited to so small
a fund.
You, the voters of the achool district, can grant an additional three
mills, In thia caae again about $12,000.
Two years ago and again laat year you
voted additional funds as provided for
under thia law. Practically every
school dlatrict in the atate finds It
necessary to call upon its voters for
auch support. The Board haa assumed that you are willing to continue
thia support without which the Amherst schools could not be maintained
aa schools of the first grade at all.
Failure to Approve this levy would
mean a deficit of $12,000 in the operating funds for the current year, a
forced loan of an equal amount to
cover the deficit with the attendant Interest charge that would have to be
carried Indefinitely. It would mean,
too, an Immediate and serious curtailment in the work of the schools. In
order to meet the very least educational requirements aa set forth by the
state code a revaluation of the property of the district would be necessary.
We are assuming that you are ready
to support the measure proposed, but
we want you to Bee what a failure of
this levy would mean to your schools.
The Amherat rates are not high
when compared with those of other
schools about us. The last tax sheet
shows
Lorain 6.607
Sheffield-Lorain 6.607
Elyria 6.69
Wellington 7.091
Oberlln 7.301
Amherst --- 5.721
To maintain In Amherat schools of
the first grade and to give our children an opportunity as good as that
enjoyed by those In our neighboring
towns and villages, vote YES on the
continuation of the three mill levy. '
The proposed levy is for three mills
to be carried over a period of five
years.
The proposed levy is not an addition
to the present rate.
It merely carries on the rate that ia
now in force.
AUXILIARY WILL GIVE

Trips were made in good time con-
,; g Lhul tbe "Bhantjf on Wheels"
ha l i i be stopped In order to shut the
doors This wus mude necessary because of the loose joints and connections iu the make-up of the "Shanty."
The weather mun predicted no wind
siorms which mude the "Skippers"
j more at ease. It was thought thut If

gers would be riding out In un "open

Both "Skippers" may suffer an attack of rheumatism lu that it was
quite cool after the sun went down.
However, no effects have been no-

The Amherst high school will have
one of the hardest games of the season when they meet the Wellington
high school gridders nt the local field
Saturday afternoon.

practice tonight after school nnd an
ntlier tomorrow morning at which
time he wilt pntch up all mistakes
made yesterday.
Several new plays will be Introduced
which ure guaranteed to work and the
team is going into the gume strong to
make a better showing thun they did
I esterday.
c
THE MORNING AFTER THE NIGHT BEFORE
VOTE YE8 ON THE THREE MILL
LEVY FOR THE SCHOOLS.
This is not a proposal to increase
the school tux rate. The Board of Education is asking you to grant the
schools a continuation of the same
support that you are now giving them.
The school finance measure to be
voted on at the ovember election demands your careful consideration and
your hearty endorsement. Under the
present achool law, the Board of Education can levy three mills for the operation of the schools. In the Amherst
Union School district that means
about $12,000 a year. The schools can
not be maintained with this amount
of money nor is it the intention of the
State Department of Education that
any community be limited to so small
a fund.
You, the voters of the achool district, can grant an additional three
mills, In thia caae again about $12,000.
Two years ago and again laat year you
voted additional funds as provided for
under thia law. Practically every
school dlatrict in the atate finds It
necessary to call upon its voters for
auch support. The Board haa assumed that you are willing to continue
thia support without which the Amherst schools could not be maintained
aa schools of the first grade at all.
Failure to Approve this levy would
mean a deficit of $12,000 in the operating funds for the current year, a
forced loan of an equal amount to
cover the deficit with the attendant Interest charge that would have to be
carried Indefinitely. It would mean,
too, an Immediate and serious curtailment in the work of the schools. In
order to meet the very least educational requirements aa set forth by the
state code a revaluation of the property of the district would be necessary.
We are assuming that you are ready
to support the measure proposed, but
we want you to Bee what a failure of
this levy would mean to your schools.
The Amherat rates are not high
when compared with those of other
schools about us. The last tax sheet
shows
Lorain 6.607
Sheffield-Lorain 6.607
Elyria 6.69
Wellington 7.091
Oberlln 7.301
Amherst --- 5.721
To maintain In Amherat schools of
the first grade and to give our children an opportunity as good as that
enjoyed by those In our neighboring
towns and villages, vote YES on the
continuation of the three mill levy. '
The proposed levy is for three mills
to be carried over a period of five
years.
The proposed levy is not an addition
to the present rate.
It merely carries on the rate that ia
now in force.
